AnTuTu scores suggest iPhone 12 chipset is downclocked, GPU is slower than on the 11-series

16 October 2020
The Apple A14 chipset is also used in the iPad Air (2020), which posted higher scores than the iPhone 12.

Sort by:

The only thing iPhone users could brag about was their chipset, and now even that's a disappointment. Funny times.

      Also the iPhone 12 Pro and Max have more RAM and should score higher in MEM.
      Anyway I'm waiting for the Snapdragon 875, I really hope it comes with custom Cortex-X1.

          They (Apple) did it to conserve battery, underclocking is one way to reduce battery consumption, Apple got to offset the 5G battery drain from somewhere. Maybe in 2030 there will be 5000mah batteries in an iphone...

                Bionic 14 is probably the worst 5mn soc that will release this year.

                5mn midrange 1080 exynos 694k antutu almost 100% gain performance from 980
                Kirin 9000 will probably hitting 700k+ antutu
                And Maybe 875+ and exynos 2100 will hit 800k

                Cant believe this iphone 12 is worst than iPhone 11 LOL

                  Why I feel that the downclocked iPhone applies to every iPhone save the Pro Max?

                      Phones like Z5, Moto X Force , One M9 and s6 did not earn 80.000 like iphone 6s.

                      If both were weaker than A9, they should have had lower score since beginning.
                      Even without app "being able to deal with 64bit".
                      They were above.
